Your'e not listening :D

I can buy a brand new 5dmkII tomorrow, and all the L lenses from 28-400, but then I have a suitcase full of stuff.... that I'll leave at home most of the time because it's to big/heavy/valuble..

I'd rather have a camera that is always on me/in the car, and sacrifice pure image quality for more interessting shots that would maybe not have even been taken if I had a fancy pro level cam...

Check out this dudes photostream... apart from an unhealty obsession with toy people, there are some very interessting pics that probably would never have happened if he was carring around a full frame....

If I had a 5d and a 17-40 I would take it with me far more times than if i had a plastic toy camera :lol::lol: Just that camera and lens doesn't take up much more space than a 4/3rds camera! If you are going out to take telephoto shots it's normally more anticipated so you will take out a 70-200 anyway and not be bothered by it!

P.S. Would you mind buying me that suitcase? :hysterically_laughi
 
Hammerite smooth black I think same as the roll cage. Looks a bit dull now and a few patches are a bit thin. I will go over it again when I get chance. Need to order some bits and sort out a cleaning tank to wash bits in before washing them in the dishwasher!
 
need a pair of wheel cylinders, hub seals I think RTC3510 & a pair of shoes because one pair were that rusted to the drum it pulled them off the rivits! Needed to soak the shoes (still stuck to the drums) and pry them out on the bench. Drums are rusty but they'll go again. Stubs are in very good condition. Very messy day today.

No, because you clearly would not look after it, taking it to Whaddon and letting it get spattered with mud and dirt... :5back2:

:D :D :D :D
​


and that lumix is all metal :rolleyes:

and it's light enough that if I spend a whole week in Scotland taking pictures with it, I won't be so tired, that I am unable to even upload those pictures to the web...
:mooning:

This Booger is a persistent one int he? :D:p

If you have enough money for a suitcase of L series lenses then why not buy both! Then you can play with your toy camera all day if you wish :lol::lol:

I would take my camera to Whaddon and I would get some great pictures and I would be careful as well :D Toy cameras are plastic, everyone knows that!

Up in scotland 2 of my l series lenses fell out of my bag and bounced 30 metres down the mountainside after the wind picked it right up clean off the ground. Not even a scratch on the outer casing, just needed a new filter for one of them. Somehow I don't think a hello kitty camera would hold up like that :p:p:rolleyes:

And those lenses will end up loose as an elderly hooker when you zoom in after about a year or two if you're lucky :eek::D

Jeez you must have nearly replaced that whole landy by now, look forward to seeing the final result...

The 80 will never be a pretty end result. The bodywork will remain dented and scratched twisted metal. It may get a dusting of paint maybe. I don't mind spending time and money on the right mechanical items as they will repay me with reliability. If I spend lots of money and importantly time on the bodywork it would be too shiny to use. Its not gonna be a shiny but it should be quite a sorted 80 inch when its done.
 
Booger I said when its done I want to get down to a SCOR So I want to get down your way to have a go at one of his comps. It'll be ages away but should you fancy passengering your most welcome.

No I'll leave the hooker long enough to take some pics, and then because the hello kitty cam is nice and light, I'll still have enough energy to post them to the net, unlike Isle of Skye photograper Jack, whoose camera is so heavy he can't pick it to get the CF card out.... :D:D
